Temporary gig …
Jon Cryer, currently on an extended hiatus from Two and a Half Men, snagged himself a temporary gig working for comedian Ellen DeGeneres … or so it would seem from a video clip that aired today on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Leave it to the talk show host to showcase the Charlie Sheen co-star in such a manner that he gets the laughs without throwing ‘Mr. Winner’ under the bus.
Cryer filmed a spoof video suggesting that his pal Ellen had come to the rescue of the displaced actor with a job offer. Clearly pleased with the way her new employee had taken to his new role, DeGeneres remarks: “You really do good work. You do the work of two-and-a-half men.”
Jon recently stuck his neck out with some interesting comments during a guest appearance with Conan O’Brien, but has remained silent since the show went dark.
